When this magic star had not yet completed its promotion, it was used to kill the legendary priest Edelweir!
After giving the chemical formula for producing chlorine trifluoride, Lin En did not forget another purpose of coming to the Alchemy Research Institute this time, which was to second a few halflings to go outside the space-time gate to contact Raphael and others.
Dennis didn't care too much about this. With Tim's promise of full support, the assistance of these halflings was dispensable, and it didn't matter if there were more or less.
Lynn left a book on fluid mechanics for Dennis to study on his own, and then called Lydia, Darren and others to tell them the news that the exploration team had discovered a group of halflings outside the space-time gate.
"That means our ancestors may have come from outside the time and space gate?" Darren said in astonishment after listening to Lin's story.
"It is indeed possible." Lin En nodded, then smiled and said, "But does it matter where it comes from? Now foreign lands are almost becoming a forbidden place for living beings..."
Darren and the others naturally had no idea of following the footsteps of their ancestors and returning to foreign lands. The Halfling people had taken root in this continent for hundreds of years, and this was their homeland.
“In short, I need to select a few of you to carry out a dangerous mission - to assist Master Raphael and go to a foreign land to gather intelligence…” Lin En explained the goals of this mission and the possible risks that might be encountered.
He had no intention of forcing or commanding these halflings, but rather followed the principle of voluntariness.
After all, once they arrive in a foreign land, the parliament's control over them will become extremely weak, and even the magic network will not be able to connect to there. Raphael cannot take care of everything, and he has to act entirely on his own initiative.
All the halflings hesitated. According to the Magic Star, the world outside the space-time gate was not only very cold and without sunlight, but also filled with a large number of dangerous monsters. If one was not careful, one might die in some corner.
"Let me go!" Darren gritted his teeth and was the first to agree.
"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Lydia agreed enthusiastically.
"No, Lydia, you'd better stay in the Alchemy Research Institute first. The test flight of the new fighter jet still requires suitable personnel." Lin En shook his head. Lydia's personality was not suitable for intelligence work. It would be a bad thing. It would be better for her to stay in the royal capital.
After Darren and Lydia spoke, the other four halflings soon stood up and expressed their willingness to undertake this dangerous intelligence exploration work.
"Very good, as long as you can complete this task, I will make an exception and allow you to join the magic network and become a wizard!" Lin En promised.
Hearing this, Darren and the others immediately became excited. In the magic kingdom, wizards are the symbols of power, authority and status. Halflings like them who have no magical talent will never be able to become wizards in their entire lives without external help.
Lin En's words undoubtedly represent an opportunity to achieve success overnight.
The halflings who had hesitated because of fear before were annoyed and regretful. Although the foreign land was dangerous, compared with becoming a wizard, the risk was nothing.
"Speaker Lin, when are we leaving?" Darren asked impatiently.
"About a week later." Lin En said afterwards. During this time, they still had to learn how to use some instruments and the common language of the other world...
Raphael had sent a prisoner before, and he should be able to get a lot of information from the other party's mind.
Chapter 531: Antimatter Bomb, we need a weapon that can kill God!
The autumn wind of October gradually faded away, and the weather began to become colder, but this still could not conceal the enthusiasm of the people of the empire for construction.
With the great construction ideas proposed by the parliament and the efforts of millions of workers, the occupied imperial cities saw new changes almost every day.
Huge churches collapsed under the power of magic and were replaced by towering magic base stations.
Countless workshops with smoke rising from chimneys sprang up, and railways connecting various cities were also built rapidly and in an orderly manner.
Thanks to the large-scale construction that bound most of the young labor force to factories and construction sites, coupled with the food rationing strategy, the parliament relied on officials temporarily selected from all over the country to manage this vast empire with a population of 20 million in an orderly manner.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the massive weekly newspaper distribution and promotion.
Lin En knew very well that these uneducated poor people were usually not very smart, and it was useless to preach to them, so he asked Luo Er to adopt another strategy, which was to exaggerate hatred!
The oppression, hunger and hardship suffered by the poor in the past were all attributed to the brutal rule of the nobility and the church, although in a sense, this is indeed true.
With such a large-scale construction being rushed, the second solar furnace was officially built in the magic tower outside the royal capital. This also meant that the promotion ceremony for Anthony and other six-ring wizards was on the agenda.
However, Lin En did not participate in it, but instead devoted all his energy to the development of new magic. The previous battle with Ella in the Holy City made him realize the flaws of nuclear explosion.
In fact, not only nuclear explosions, but any means they use seem unable to harm that strange godhead, which means that the enemy will always be invincible.
Therefore, they urgently need a weapon that can truly hurt God!
There are quite a few weapons in the intelligent computer database that can do this.
For example, antimatter bombs!
The power of this thing is hundreds of times higher than that of a nuclear bomb, and the energy utilization efficiency of the two is not at the same level at all. Through the annihilation effect of matter and antimatter, the mass-energy conversion ratio can reach a perfect 100%!
As long as a few antimatter bombs are driven deep into the ground via bunker-penetrating bombs and then detonated, they can directly tear apart and destroy a planet. This is a truly world-destroying weapon!
There are also particle beam weapons. The main guns of the Federation starships use this type of weapon. They bind a large number of high-energy particles with magnetic fields, pass through particle accelerators, and blast them out at sub-light speeds. The effect is amazing!
In addition, the development of gravitational magic might also be a way... Previously, with the help of the connection of the magic network, his mental rating briefly rose from the seventh ring to the eighth ring, and he was even able to do something very outrageous, such as 'seeing' the curvature of space.
However, judging from the situation in the previous battle with Ella, the Lord of the Dead is probably not weak in his control over space. It is good enough that they are not at a disadvantage in this regard...
Lin En was deep in thought when a black crow in a cage beside him scratched the bottom of the cage with its feet. The extremely sharp sound immediately interrupted his thoughts.
"Stupid native, what ridiculous things are you thinking about again?" The black crow raised his head arrogantly and said with interest.
"Of course it's a way to defeat the Lord of the Undead." Lin En said it openly without any intention of hiding anything.
A mocking expression suddenly appeared on the black crow's face, and it started to laugh loudly, and finally even rolled over in the cage. "You actually want to defeat a god? This is simply the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life!"
Lin En's expression remained unchanged. He leaned back in his chair and watched the crow rolling around in the cage, as if he was watching an animal show.
Perhaps noticing Lin En's indifferent gaze, the laughter in the cage gradually stopped. The black crow stood up again, with a somewhat bored look on its face, and glanced at Lin En with contempt.
"Foolish native, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. With your strength, even if you use all means, you can't pose a substantial threat to a god!"
"Only God can defeat God, and only God can kill God!" the black crow chattered.
Lin En did not comment, but asked, "But didn't you say before that there was a way to help us defeat the Lord of the Dead?"
"As long as you can successfully resist the invasion of the undead under the Lord of the Dead and lure them into your world in their true form, that will be enough. You don't have to worry about the rest." The black crow said arrogantly.
"True body? Does he usually come as an avatar?" Lin En continued to ask. "Why do we have to lure him into our world?"
The black crow hesitated for a moment, as if wondering whether he should answer the question.
"You are asking us to make a very dangerous decision for the world. You are putting a god that you admit we cannot deal with into this plane. This may bring disaster to the parliament and even the whole world." Lynn raised his eyebrows.
"What else? Do you think that if you do nothing, the world will not be destroyed?" The black crow said mockingly. "Well, I might as well tell you, native. This means that the Lord of the Dead will leave his own divine domain. In such a situation, it is dangerous for a god..."
"Just like Diana, the Moon Goddess?" Lin En immediately thought of the dead Moon God, who also left his own divine realm and arrived in this world, and then died inexplicably.
The black crow also realized that he seemed to have said too much, and his chattering mouth immediately shut up.
"What is the divine realm then? Is it a manifestation of domain expansion?" Lin En asked again.
"Don't even think about it. That's a realm that only God can reach..." The black crow cawed, and then stopped answering Lin En's questions. Instead, it repeated over and over again the unparalleled power of God.
Lin En knew that he probably wouldn't be able to ask anything else, but he was ready to give it a try himself.
"071, how many people are connected to the magic network now?" Lin En asked silently in his mind.
[The current number of users is 35,600! ]
After his promotion of the Magic Network system at the magic seminar, there are now about seventy great wizards, fifteen thousand wizards and more than twenty thousand magic apprentices who have joined the Magic Network system.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to include more people, but the magic base stations located in various places have not yet been completely established.
Because the new technique he developed to connect to the magic network is not instantaneous.
The principle is just like connecting a computer to WIFI, but in reverse. A signal is sent out, which is received by the intelligent brain and the link is completed.
The speed of the signal is equal to the speed of light, which is 300,000 kilometers per second.
This speed is undoubtedly very fast within the planet, so fast that even legendary wizards find it difficult to react. But this thing is just like electromagnetic waves, it will attenuate as the distance spreads.
Or in other words, it is essentially an electromagnetic wave that carries magic and soul information, so it is necessary to establish magic base stations in various places to enhance the received signals and then resend them.
In addition, there are some very stubborn wizards who firmly oppose the promotion of the magic network. They believe that relying on external forces such as the magic network to cast spells is simply a blasphemy against magic. They even plan to give those spellcasters who rely on the magic network a new name to distinguish them.
Lin En ignored these stubborn elements. After they watched the other wizards experience the convenience of the magic network, they would naturally become more anxious and make changes on their own.
"Connect to the magic network." Lin En said silently in his heart.
The combined computing power of 20,000 wizard apprentices, 15,000 wizards, dozens of great wizards, and three legendary wizards is undoubtedly terrifying. This means that nearly 90% of the power of the entire parliament is concentrated on him alone!
Although the magic network cannot call upon 100% of the computing power of these people, just a part of it is enough to allow Lin En's mental power to leap to another level.
The mental power rating in the intelligent brain quickly jumped from the seventh ring to the eighth ring, and then to the ninth ring...
The crow trapped in the cage shuddered instantly and jumped up, staring at Lin En, whose momentum suddenly soared, with an astonished and unbelievable look, but soon found that the opponent's strength did not break through a certain level, so he lay back listlessly, his black eyeballs rolling around, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"The faith promotion method is really fast, no wonder so many psychic wizards are crazy about it..." Feeling the surge in mental power, this thought suddenly emerged in Lin En's mind.
The next moment, the whole world changed before his eyes. A series of tight and orderly space 'curves' appeared before him, but compared to the last time, he saw more.
These 'curves' are all crooked and slightly curved.
Is it the influence of gravity on space and time?
Lin En stared at these lines intently, and soon felt dizzy at the soul level.
This bending seemed not limited to the three-dimensional level, but also involved higher dimensions, revealing a weird and incomprehensible madness. Even the elements in front of him turned into another extremely strange form.
Lin En touched his swollen head, gave up exploring for the time being, and began to guide the arrival of the domain.
A huge amount of magic power surged out from his body, infecting the elements in the void just like a tide flooding the beach, and the sea water enveloped every grain of sand.
This is a skill that every wizard must learn, and it is also a prerequisite for the release of many magics.
For great wizards, they can go even further and construct their own domain around them with abundant mental strength and magic power.
Legends can obviously do more things. For example, this time Lin En plans to cover an entire city with his domain!
The magic power quickly surged in all directions with Lin En as the center. The entire manor was included in it within 0.0001 seconds, and then it quickly expanded to the entire royal capital!
At this moment, all the great wizards in the royal capital immediately sensed it.
Dennis, who was conducting a wind tunnel test, raised the test power from 20% to 100% with a tremor of his hand. The rapidly gushing tail flame emitted two eye-catching sonic rings. The terrifying recoil force instantly broke free from its restraints and crashed directly into the newly built wind tunnel.
But Dennis didn't care about the pain at all and rushed out of the laboratory anxiously.
Sanchez, who was on duty today to protect the capital, was terribly frightened. He immediately jumped up from his chair and quickly had people activate all the protective magic in the capital.
A few three-ring wizards with keen perception also realized that something was wrong and looked up at the sky.
Lin En, who had already completed the coverage of the domain, naturally took everyone's reactions into consideration. With a thought, the elements in the domain surged, and a voice soon rang out in every corner of the royal capital.
"Don't worry, I'm just experimenting with the use of magic..."
Lin En's voice was undoubtedly very recognizable, and it immediately made Sanchez and others who were extremely nervous relax. In this moment, they also realized that this powerful magic power was pouring out from the manor of the Magic Star.
After resolving this oolong alert incident, Lin En turned all his attention to the city covered by the domain.
